*** X3 M - Not able to resolve Passenger Restraint error - multiple visits to *********** center and *** customer service *********** - case was opened on 09/21/2022 . **************** first told me that they will get a replacement of the car but now they are saying *** local unit is not listening to them.
The Support team at *********** ext **** ( ****) told me 3 times to go back to *** Princeton service center and every time car is at service for more than a week and they say it's fixed and again within 1 -2 day the same sign comes on console. This is danger to passenger's life as it say passenger seat restraint malfunction and *** is not listening to this - as i had mentioned in my service report also multiple times.
I am paying more than $1000 USD per month and not able to use the car and can't make my family sit in this SUV.
Please help me and let me know if i should ask a lawyer to look into this.
I have all service reports from Princeton BMW .

We have been in communication with ***s ***** Service Engineer to further diagnose the concern. We currently have ordered and are awaiting the Parts to perform the repair.
Thank you,

Complaint: 18469704
I am rejecting this response because: Car was in Princeton BMW for repairs for same reason 4 times in past 6 months. I am not able to drive the car as there is risk to passenger's life due to malfunction. every time i was told that it is fixed and after week or more in repairs - the same error message pops up again in one day after service. I need a replacement of the car.

I have received the response for complaint 18469704. There were no deceptive practices only repairs performed under the manufacturers vehicle warranty. Currently we are waiting for the parts to perform the recommended repair. Princeton BMW has stated previously is only the chosen repair facility, we were not the selling dealer. This is a product concern, and a replacement vehicle can only be authorized by the vehicle manufacturer BMW.
Thank you,

I leased a vehicle on 2/11/19 form Princeton BMW. Along with the lease I purchased a Lease Protect Agreement that would shield me from "excessive wear and tear" liability at lease end. When I returned the vehicle, a thorough inspection was completed and I was provided an assessment that covered on mileage overage, and the disposition fee. Weeks later I was sent a **** that asked for additional charges ($2,025.88) for excessive wear and tear. After multiple calls and correspondence with *************, attempts to speak with someone at Princeton BMW, and then ultimately trying to contact the insurance company (after a bit of detective work), I still have no answers, clarity, or even a remote path to resolution.Business response

Bought a used car from princetonBMW and as per the contract they were suppose to provide the floor mats. They kept sending email to wait as they have ordered and waiting it to be delivered. Now after 6 months, they have stopped responding to emails including manager and sales repBusiness response

We reached out Arjun ******* to apologize about the lack of communication and the delay in taking care of this concern. This was something that was promised at the time of delivery and usually we just reimburse the customer for the mats and they buy them for off-brand units. This could have been part of the confusion, but in any case, we should have done a better job of communicating with the customer. ****************** will purchase the factory mats or all weather mats and send us the receipt and we will reimburse him.
